Agree with this. They should have kept Fleer Ultra and shitcanned this product idea and Skybox Metal. Fleer could have continued on in such a cool way (all the while preserving the PMG value goddamnit!)
@@PrimeRacingNetwork the fleer sets were great for UD to throw random retro inserts too. It worked with the theme. Much better than the unimaginative inserts we get today. UD messed up ice and black diamond too.
This and Synergy should have NEVER replaced Fleer Showcase. That product was so much fun and honestly one of the better even with sticker autographs. But then again, never surprised by anything Upper Deck does anymore
The allure of this product is the rookie autos, and the top rookies don't have autos. This set was doomed from the production line. I'm wondering if it has something to do with 2021 autograph contracts expiring before the product was scheduled for release?
Bought one of these a couple months ago and pulled an acetate auto of Brock Boeser numbered out of 10. No idea what it might be worth but a pretty sweet card nonetheless
My pal is a photographer for Upper Deck and took the Pettersson cover photo for 23-24 credentials. Think that deserves a couple comp’d boxes, or an employee discount? They didn’t even tell him, let alone credit him. Never do, despite having tons of his pictures being used as cards. It’s super cool, but just seems crazy to me he doesn’t even get told how his pictures are used. Anyway, hoping 23-24 credentials is worth a shot but not off to a good start lmao
Not a bad box, some good players but man the designs are underwhelming. I feel like they could have still made the cards look like ID cards or Tickets (or whatever) without taking up like a THIRD of the card. What's your favorite set to collect regardless of value?
The product is decent I guess but watching your thumb heal a bit more with each video is even cooler (please don't hurt yourself anymore we care about you)
Eww, I cannot imagine spending my money on these boxes, Not interested in any Credentials cards in my collection. I always completely forget this product exists until someone points it out. This product looks like it's made by Giant Tiger.
Funny, I was debating whether to bite for US $59 at D&A, and your vid popped up (my being data-mined apparently). I was thinking that inflation has corrected, due to decent Fed policy. These boxes could tank to $40. Given the overproduction, box prices are finally looking similar to pre-Matthews, notably during seasonal sales. I keep hearing influencers cheerlead the eBay crash, precipitating a further sell-off. The fact is, that simply means it is a buyer's market, i.e. not a bad time to buy not sell.
I've never bought Credentials, nor will I ever. Not a fan of the product in the least. Doesn't look very nice, doesn't really hold value. There are MUCH better products to spend money on.
Credentials is literally a box of junk. These are the kind of products the hobby should be universally rejecting. Let that s*** sit on the shelves forever. Nobody is better off buying a box of that garbage.
Too many similar products. They should have just kept the old Fleer sets. They had established rookies everyone wanted.

Some of those Fleer inserts were nice too. I love the 2014-15 Ultra Photo Vault cards. The Buckets inserts were nice also.
@@drewv1747 my favorite fleer set was 15 16 cause the cards look so good
They had Fleer on epack for 21-22 not as good as before but still back somewhat

Are you gonna go to edmonton for the expo
I like the pro vision cards otherwise as you say there is not much interesting content in these boxes. Have a good one !!
👏👏 PP 👏👏 Gru Gru
What a box! So exhilarating!!! The box is always worth it when there is a PP pull

Where did he buy it at 80$?
he never says where he buys it from, extremely annoying.
@@R10gaming316 would be nice to know where he got it at 80$?
Ebay is 94 thats the cheapest I found
I got a 1/10 Tavares Auto from my recent box expecting to get nothing.
total sports card doesnt even sell it, so where did you buy them?
You got triple the value for a third of the price compared to other UD offerings.

u basically broke even
Bought a box of these back in October for $60 at a small card show. My hit was a Tomasino acetate.

Id buy at 80 but where ?
I think 22-23 debut tickets look nice I’ll probably just pick up a couple cards second hand tho
Zeeree time
2023-24 seems to be even worse, no mention of guaranteed autos in a box
Hit the Adam Fox Rookie Ticket Auto /25
Interest product, hopefully they will improve it for the 23-24 release. Thanks for sharing!
The product is decent I guess but watching your thumb heal a bit more with each video is even cooler (please don't hurt yourself anymore we care about you)
Every UD set should be 50% lower since the market is probably down 50% as well
5:08 6:23 6:55 7:07
finally a fair price
Always great info in the commentary, ty
Zeeree, it’s not a sweet product, but you made more than your money, which seems rare these days! Thanks for the rip, my friend!
GO SABRES
They can remove this product and a couple others. Just use the main cards as inserts in flagship instead of all the other BS they make up every year.

First?
Not really impressed by this product
Spending money on these boxes just to complain about what you get is pretty dumb.
The way you open your packs is blasphemy 😂😂😂😂
Utterly disappointing
this product is awful, upper deck should scrap it
What a horrible product
So bad
